[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”15722″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The Walking Dead has lost Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan recently and will be losing Danai Gurira next season. Now the AMC series might lose out on another fan-favorite in an unconfirmed report. Apparently, there is a rumor that the series is gearing up for the “pikes” sequence from the comic books, which *spoiler* is when King Ezekiel meets his grisly end.
“We Got This Covered has heard from trusted sources that Khary Payton will be saying goodbye to The Walking Dead in either season 9 or the already commissioned season 10, with King Ezekiel set to meet his fate,” the report reads. “Our source can’t say for sure when it’ll happen, but Payton has already been notified about what’s in store for his character and it sounds like it was a writer-led decision and not because the actor wishes to leave the show.”
Khary Payton has brought so much life to his role as Ezekiel that it would be a shame for him to go out as the way his character does in the comics. Unlike Gurira, Payton has not expressed any desire to leave the show, but if this is the creative decision that the show decides to use, then we’ll see the end of another fan-favorite on The Walking Dead.
As we find out more, we’ll keep you updated!
